Genie's Weekly News (39)

Sunday 12 July 2015


Hi everyone and welcome to my weekly blog feature to recap the week with bookish news and what to expect coming up! So without further ado...

*Reading Right Now*

18459855

Not loving it as much as Every Day, but I'll just have to see how it goes.

*Previous Posts*
*Recommendation of the Week*


23524565

Historical fiction, Paris, passion - what's not to love?

*From The Interwebs*


*Haul*

Thank you to Walker Books Australia for the review copy!

I haven't ever read a graphic memoir before so this should be interesting! I've already had a quick flick-through and it looks pretty good already.
*Bookish News*

The always lovely and amazing Rachael Craw has been doing #bloggerlove facebook shout-outs recently, and I was included!



Also, HarperCollins YA tweeted a pic of an ad they ran in Girlfriend magazine for The Sacred Lies of Minnow Bly (which is an AMAZING BOOK) and me, along with other YA bloggers were quoted! Very exciting indeed.



And to top things off, Penguin Teen Australia released their news about their awesomeness coming up next year with some of their fabulous YA authors!


Also, I signed up for the 'Excuse to Read' readathon which is being hosted by authors Cheyanne Young and Jessica L. Brooks - it's definitely time to set some reading goals to get through my TBR with dedication!


*Instagram!*

I took the plunge and got Instagram this week! I haven't done that many posts yet, but am looking forward to doing more bookish tags. There are soooo many pretty pictures of books on there (they do make the best models). If you have an Instagram account, let me know in the comments and I'll check it out :)
How has your week been?

    I was blown away to see our quotes in there, absolutely awesome stuff! Instagram, I must be the only person not on there now. You see, I have a Windows Phone, which is equivalent to basically having a tin can and string. You can't get any good apps on there. No Goodreads, no Blogger and definitely no Instagram. It's a terrible phone. And the good thing is that now it's starting to pack it up, so the perfect excuse to get a new one. Hooray!

    Have a wonderful week of reading poppet <3

    Ah, CONGRATS on the magazine!!! That. Is. Awesome! Oh, I remember I read Every day a couple of years ago now--so I'm definitely interested to see what I'll think of this companion novel. Hopefully it'll get better for you!
